Episode Description: In this final session, Bernie continues to answer questions posed by the retreat participants. One person asked: “how can one go about distributing homemade soap to the homeless without offending them?” Another person asked Bernie to talk about his transition from being an engineer to a Zen student and then on to his engaged activity through the Grayston Mandala. Another question was “how does love fit into Indra’s Net?” To which Bernie responds, “have you seen The Big Lebowskii?” Referring to an important part of the movie, Bernie talks about “what is the rug that ties the world together?” Other questions include “what is healing?” “was it your idea to create the Peacemaker Rakusu and do you have any stories about the one you are wearing?” “What about those moments when there isn’t love?” “Can you share your practice or definition of remember?”
